The things you mentioned should be present in a site for it to attract more writers and for the site to be lively.

thank you

There are more ideas but these came to me

While other countries are using “clean energy” sources, it is lamentable that he wanted to go back to the 50’s burning coals? Quite amusing!

at first i was surprised about trump – now nothing about him surprises me – i expect the worst and he usually comes thru

Thanks for sharing the colorful “gems”of Hinduism. I am naive on this religion; just a little knowledge about it from our lessons in Asian civilization. I admire the way people in your country or those in other countries in observing Hinduism. It looks like they have a deep sense of religiosity when you see them praying in temples, or in their places of worship.

It is a observation which I have observed personally and with others known to me too that when they feel for a long time and get the thought whether something which they want to go right, will it go right? Many times it has gone wrong and horribly wrong. I leaves with a sense of helplessness as that is the only word which I find can be used to describe that. It leaves scars in our mind and will continue to haunt us long after the event has taken place.

Yes it happens. It depends on ones coping mechanism and acceptance levels. One even gets this thought Why does this happen to me? There are only clear questions and more questions but no proper solutions or answers. It is better we leave that thing at that and focus on something worth thinking and can think and get solutions for it with time. But it is a bad situation going through it. It continues for days and months. Thanks for the share.

True. You become what you want to become. If you think some bad experience will come it may occur. That is why it is suggested we should always think positive. Perception is what makes us all. good day.

The word speculation is totally a misgiving. What should we speculate or why should we speculate, when this has got no specific path or direction to follow.
I work throughout the day. I know I will be paid Rs.300 per hour for my work. After the completion of the day, I am sure to get Rs.2,400/- (for eight hrs of my work). How can I speculate on that? Why should I speculate on that?
Speculation leads us towards ruination and makes us greedy which we are not eligible for.
Similarly, there will be some deduction of Rs.800/- per month from my salary. At that rate, there will be an amount of Rs.9,600 in my Govt., account. There is no place for speculation in that.Speculating something which we do not know makes us DAY DREAMING on everything and everybody knows pretty well the value and significance of life spent upon DAY DREAMING.

Nice good one

What sites according to you are trustful to write articles for?

This is so true, I have tried many sites in the past some have been great some have been awful. I gave up on writing online for a while but am trying some new sites out now. This being one of them.

Very well said, and it is true as we online writers had experienced. I am glad Literacybase and myLot are included in your list of trusted sites.

Thanks for the info. I am on two writing sites only and more active in LB. I guess it’s because I am new and yet to get paid. I have been off LB for days now, due to work. I have been so busy in the office lately, once I get home, I’m tired.

Tried many sites and many were fake, but still have faith

Have you ever enter short story writing comptions?
like what writer digest has

Being “politically correct” is a “convenience”; a rather unsavory form of communication which often does not communicate the truth. It sometimes “masks” the truth. The reasoning or excuse for being “politically correct” or for not speaking plainly is because someone might be “offended”. I’m not saying a person should lack tact or be diplomatic when speaking to others and be abrasive or callous and not care about the person’s feelings, beliefs, etc. But if the end result of what you’re saying is not truthful and will not provide any benefit such as, solving a problem, reaching an understanding, etc., then … you might as well SHUT UP! Cause you just flapping your mouth and ain’t saying nothing!

It is true, money is needed for one to have a decent way of life and to have freedom. If he do not have money, he will be dependent on other people’s help.

This is so true!

No one can live without money. As mentioned in your topic, just the basic necessities in life entails the use of money.

Acquiring food, clothing, and shelter, you need to have money.
